A WALK IN THE WOODS

WHO WE ARE . . .

Remember when children played outside all day? Has a child’s time using indoor electronics replaced outdoor adventure? We hope not and think you might agree. Children invent worlds of wonder when exploring fields, woods and streams. They discover themselves. Our goal is to connect children to nature by introducing them to animals andhabitatsthey may have never experienced or heard of before. Best of all, we bring it all to you with ourhands-on science programs.Read more about A Walk In The Woods >>

We have a large diversity of science program themes to select from. You can learn about habitats in our programs ontropical rainforests, coral reefs, North Carolina wildlife or find out about different groups of animals fromreptilesto bats. Each one of our museum based programs has a multi-sensory approach to learning. In the slide presentation, children learn about exotic animals, fascinating facts and interesting environments. Children can discover different textures, shapes, colors and patterns when touching a variety of hands-on artifacts on display. Many of these artifacts are uncommon, rare or endangered typically seen only at a museum. The highlight of the program is the hands-on live animals. When a child touches an animal, one they have never touched before, you can see a powerful connection happening right before your eyes. It is a magical moment and something they will not forget!Read about our Science Programs >>

Most importantly, they are inspired to explore the outdoors and enjoy a walk in the woods.Read more about Who We Serve >>
